Fuck the Polis review – sphinxlike docu-essay is too cryptic to be inspiring
This film may be making a point about Greek myth and modernity, but its visual collages and dense poetic texts render it inertThe title of this lyrical but frustrating docu-essay about director Rita Azevedo Gomes’s travels in Greece cuts both ways. Is it expressing impatience with the classical ideals she hopes to discover there; or, borrowed from street graffiti, is it actually critiquing the modern society that has betrayed ancient standards of beauty and harmony and, in the words of...

Fuck the Polis review – cryptic docu-essay is a sphinxlike study of Greek myth and modernity
This film may be making a point about the classical vis a vis the contemporary, but its visual collages and dense poetic texts render it inertThe title of this lyrical but frustrating docu-essay about director Rita Azevedo Gomes’s travels in Greece cuts both ways.

Trump ally Tina Peters walks free after governor slashes convicted election clerk’s 9-year sentence
Trump ally Tina Peters walks free after governor slashes convicted election clerk’s 9-year sentence Her early release follows a commutation by Governor Jared Polis, a Democrat, who acted last month after facing significant pressure from Donald Trump - Bookmark - CommentsGo to comments Tina Peters, a Colorado elections clerk and proponent of election conspiracy theories, is set to be released from prison on Monday, having served less than a quarter of her nine-year sentence. Her early release...
ZK-Flex: A Flexible and Scalable Framework for Accelerating Zero-Knowledge Proofs
arXiv:2606.03046v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) allows a prover to convince a verifier of computational correctness without revealing private data, ensuring both privacy and verifiability. However, proof generation is highly compute-intensive, dominated by polynomial (POLY) and elliptic-curve (EC) operations. These workloads pose two key challenges for hardware acceleration: (1) efficiently supporting diverse large-precision modular multiplications, and (2)...
Nonlinear rheology of laminin-111-modified hyaluronan hydrogels
We experimentally assess the nonlinear rheology of composite biopolymer hydrogels composed of thiolated hyaluronic acid, poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA), and laminin-111 in varied concentrations. We focus in particular on the influence of laminin on the mechanics of the assembled hydrogels, reporting nonlinear rheological measurements for gels under applied shear and compressive load. We find that increasing the concentration of laminin in the synthesized gels reduces the linear...
On Sketching Trimmed Statistics
Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study sketching trimmed statistics of a frequency vector, including the $F_p$ moment of the top-$k$ coordinates and of the trimmed-$k$ vector. Despite their natural role in robust analytics, this is the first time these problems have been studied in any sublinear space setting. For $p \in [0,2]$, we obtain $poly(\log n/\varepsilon)$-space algorithms for both tasks when $k$ is moderately large, and for general $k$ we identify a sharp structural threshold...
MeshWeaver: Sparse-Voxel-Guided Surface Weaving for Autoregressive Mesh Generation
arXiv:2606.04688v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive mesh generation has gained attention by tokenizing meshes into sequences and training models in a language-modeling fashion. However, existing approaches suffer from two fundamental limitations: (i) low tokenization efficiency, which yields long token sequences and prevents scaling to high-poly meshes, and (ii) absence of geometry-aware guidance, as generation is conditioned only on global shape embeddings rather than local...
Colorado governor vetoes block on surveillance pricing as other states push for bans
Consumer advocates decry Democrat Jared Polis for ‘choosing to side with dominant corporations’ over workersColorado’s governor vetoed a bill on Tuesday that would have banned companies from using surveillance pricing to set workers’ wages and prices for consumer goods. The measure would have been the strongest in the nation against algorithmic pricing. While Maryland became the first state to approve a law banning surveillance pricing in grocery stores in April, Colorado’s proposed measure...
